Back from the Grave.... with pictures!!

Hello everyone! Sorry it's been a while but I've brought some pictures to hopefully make up for lost time!

Here is the Vectroscope:
My best attempt at walking through the tear-down lol



Front & back




And the insides!!

And this is what I got in the end:

man, I wish you would have post this before tearing it down

I didn't have a choice in whether it was torn down or not unfortunately - it was just something I got lucky enough to be able to take apart.

On those boards they will have Ta caps too not many but some.

Yep, Still have the tube. Way too cool to just get rid of lol

Coated like the CRTs in TVs are?

Welcome back Julie : ) Were you tearing it down for someone else?

Are these what you're talking about? (sorry bad picture!)

There is a sticker on the metal casing for the tube that says restored in april of '88 - I wanna say that I saw a date in the '70s somewhere though

No worries, just sucks to see that. I have been wanting an oscilloscope for years.

I don't think it was an oscilloscope. Its some sort of vectorscope--I think they were used for work on the old CRT TV's and the like. Maybe someone who has worked with these will chime in...

I'm sure if you put up your request on this site for a 'scope, someone will have one or come across one. I would like to find one, too!!
